As someone who lived through it, also in the South, I can tell you that it didn’t come out of any one incident. The evangelical community has pretty much always believed that Satan is hiding behind every tree. But the popularity of movies like The Exorcist and The Omen during the 70s, the growth of interest in the…

No AV Club, I do not want to sign up for your news letter.

So nightcore is basically this generation’s Alvin and the Chipmunks. I can dig it. I liked the chipmunk version of songs ever since I saw the movie in the 80s.

Hey, this is America. We can be stupid in LOTS of different ways at the same time!

An analogy to help people understand this situation:

Securing the music rights for the Freaks & Geeks DVD release was all on Shout! Factory, who put out the set, not the producers. The amount of work they put in to get the music rights for WKRP in Cincinnati was nuts and they still couldn’t get all of them (though had they not gotten Tiny Dancer, it would have been all…

To me, one of the craziest music budgets I can imagine was the one for Freaks & Geeks - even more so, how they managed to secure all the original music for the DVD release to a beloved one-season flop.

Eddie Izzard - my younger brother really liked his stuff as a kid.

Wait, have you just described my marriage? ;-)

Cash hoards are really hard to defend to shareholders and employees. You better be a rock star company to have a lot of operating cash.

I haven’t seen TLJ or TROS (though I’m pretty sure I know which one I’d prefer), but surely everyone can agree that the management of these films has been absolutely baffling.

Contrarian as opposed to who? The Last Jedi had a 91% RT rating.

Except it wasn’t a mess from start to finish. It has issues, but it’s a good film overall.

It is a bummer that the cast had to be buffeted around by such stupefying circumstances. Even when I was disappointed by how much TFA was a retread of ANH, the new generation of characters were so good, I remained enthusiastic for the rest of the trilogy. For myself, TLJ actually took advantage of that cast and did…

Quarantine not going well, buddy?

I’m only saying this because I care—there are a lot of decaffeinated brands on the market today that are just as tasty as the real thing.

Tim Robbins as Doc Antle.  It’s basically his High Fidelity character already.

Never that;when she opened for Maxwell here in Pittsburgh,she was in the middle of a song,and her mic went out. Rather than stop the show...

My apologies if my opinion ruffles any feathers, but I think they the next time they do a Star Wars trilogy they should have some idea of where it’ll end up before they start off, because this trilogy was disjointed to the point of being off-putting.
